I need to find it, but I cut together a video of Bisping getting caught by right hands due to circling to the left.

I know Kang and Rivera clipped him, in addition to Hendo

In case anyone cares (y'all don't), but here's how old each division is, on average, based on the champ +top 15 ranking setup UFC offers:

Middleweight - 34.375
Heavyweight - 34.125
Light Heavyweight - 32.9375
Welterweight - 32.3125
Women's bantamweight - 31.1875
Lightweight - 30.4375
Bantamweight - 30.375
Featherweight - 29.25
Strawweight - 28.625
Flyweight - 28.4375

Strawweight and flywweight both have 4 fighters that are 25 or younger. The remaining 8 divisions have 7 fighters 25 or younger combined. Straw and fly have 0 people older than 35 (Straw has 34-year old Jessica Aguilar and fly has 33 year old John Moraga). Not only does every other division have people 35+, there are 32, which is enough to fill 2 divisions with Olds.

Despite Dan Hendo's desiccated husk not dragging middleweight down, it's still old as gently caress. There are 3 guys 40 or older (Yoel, Anderson, Vitor) and just 3 30 or under (Bobby Knux, Krzy Jotko and Smile'N Sam).

Heavyweight has 1 dude past 40, the beloved Mark Hunt. and 3 guys 30 or younger - Francis Ngannou, Alex Volkov and Stefan Struve.

Light heavyweight benefits from fictional characters that were invented in the past 3 - 5 years, but Lil Nog, Cormier, Glover, Manuwa, Durkin Donuts and the concept of Shogun's Knees are really dragging the division down into a bog of decrepitude

I think half the people here could be better striking coaches than most pro-fighters have, but so would a speak and spell shouting "punch the face!

"Stand up"

"Score points"

"Knock him out"

the sum total of all the knowledge Rampage gave to his fighters across 2 seasons of TUF.

Note: "how you gonna get the moon off you?", while an interesting thought experiment, doesn't actually contain any knowledge that can be imparted upon a fighter

The Stipe that walked out to that ring seemed fundamentally different but who knows. Didn't know if he was a doofus, because they can replicate that killer look if they are lucky. He made me a fan last night.

Does Rose have any chance in the next two years against Joanna? I like her skill set but not her experience level. I hope the fight doesn't happen soon.

I really like Rose, but I'm trying to be realistic about this:

- she's got decent subs, and his sometimes sneaky with them, but Joanna isn't likely to get all scrambley with her if it hits the ground, and Joanna is really good at getting up off of takedowns

- her kickboxing is ok, and she's got some decent pop to her kicks, but Joanna is much better, not to mention that Rose freezes up a lot or just implements bad gameplans.

Clearest path to victory: hail mary sub, I guess

I want to see Edgar at 135 just to see what it looks like when he has a size advantage.

More like a size equivalency. He's taller than like, Lineker, Assuncao and Jimmie Rivera, but their reach is about the same. TJ's roughly the same size. Dom is taller, so is Cody, but Cody has stumpier arms.
